I believe that accusations should be answered, even if they come from a
source that is well known to be biased, because if accusations are NOT
answered, they begin to seem partially true in some people's minds. 

I think I answered Cosenza fairly, and I certainly did not fight dung with
dung. If I had done that, I would have made counter-accusations about
Cosenza's cryonics organization. This is something I try not to do. 

I'm sorry you can't see the difference between someone accusing CryoCare
gross negligence and indifference to patient welfare, and someone else
rather wearily answering the accusations with facts about the incident. It
is not reasonable to equate the two.
